First Reef scape. Please tear it apart to your discretion.

Built my first scape. Tell me what you guys think! Will their be good enough flow? Any problems you might see that I don't? Thanks!

Looks great to me man! Just make sure to position powerheads so the detritus collects in an easy to access spot

I would move rock structure from right side more in, as you wont be able to clean glass there with magnet (not enough room for magnet to get in) Would try to add more hiding spots for fish, rock sitting by itself on the left I would remove, unless you planned on using it to isolate some corals so that they dont spread. If you like what you have, leave it be for 3-4 days, dont look at it and dont think about it. Come back after that time and take a look. Odds are there will be something you dont like and will want to change.

Keep in mind that scape is built for fish and corals. Once coras are put in and grow out, you wont even be able to see your scape any more. Plan your scape based on fish and coral needs.

Gotcha! Yea I wanted to put zoas or gsp on the isolated rock. Should I break into a smaller piece? Also how should I make more hiding spots for fish? I have a few tunnels in the rocks themselves aside from the cavern. I also plan on having a sand bed, not sure if that matters too much

Little late to the party, love the big swimming space in the middle and the island. I would rotate the back rock wall just slightly so that it’s not parallel with the back plane of glass. I also think the two high points of the rock wall should be at different heights, but overall looks great man

Thank you! I accually sort of redid things (used the sticky). Heres the finished product. Still need to figure out my flow so my sand does not get kicked around

Looks awesome you could also drill holes into the back of the rock work for extra hiding places (bedrooms) and if you drilled right through more flow maybe
